GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 8, 1920.

Application filed 'J'uly 7, 1919. Serial No. 309,250.

' designed more especially to be, used in heating furnaces of the kinds usually employed in residences and dwelling apartments and which are of the'hot air, steam or hot water style or type, and the installation may comprise or use one or more of the burners or burner units shown.

n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a lan view of a two burner combination, and ig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section of Fig. 1 through opposite combustion tubes therein. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of a burner pipe through the inclined orifices therein. In an installation of this style of burners I may employ one or more complete burners or burner units, and which consist each of a straight pipe 2 and two or more sets of combustion tubes 3 seated over orifices 1n the said pipe at an inward inclination toward each other lengthwise of the pipe of about forty-five degrees and which brings said tubes at right angles to each other. The said orifices also are shown as inclined toward each other from group togrou in the same longitudinal line, but inclined away from each other in the same group. The tubes in each set or pair of orifices are limited to two, and are cast integral with-a ring or band shaped base b sleeved upon the pipe 2 and adapted to be adjustably fixed thereon over said orifices by means of set screws 4. This provides for both longitudinal and rotary movement of the burner tubes and which is necessary to place the said tubes in right working relations with each other and over the orifices 6 when the burners are assembled.

The said burner tubes 3 are believed to be originalin these further particulars, that they are straight cylindrical members having preferably two opposite air inlet openings or recesses 5 at their base and open full width at their outer ends. The feature of length of the said tubes also is material because each tube becomes a mixer and i for itself, and a fair length is necessary to promote such mixing, and with a plurality of burner units employed together in a furnace the said tubes require at least the relatlve length shown to bring their discharge into such relatively near working relations that the best possible combustion may ensue at the confluence thereof, say about as shown in the middle portion of Fig. 1, where four converging tubes are set to commin 1e their discharge at a common center. owever, as to this feature or arrangement of the said tubes, it will be noticed at the sides of the burner units where only two tubes are shown, the discharges therefrom traverse each other at right angles exactly as occurs where four such tubes are used, and efiectlve commingling of the gases and of combustion is assured. A common supply pipe 8 is provided for all the burner units, and

each unit has its own valve V, so that one or more may be used as temperature conditions may demand.

From the point-of view ofa single burner unit constructed as herein shown, a complete working unit would be made by the use of only two combustion tubes on each pipe positioned and related as seen in Fig. 2, and this may be said to be the basic generic conception, but which is amplified and improved by the use of two units having four several burner tubes disposed to unite and combine their discharge on a given center and adapted to sustain a single flame at their confluence. This doubles up the more limited conception of only two combustion tubes and gives what is shown in Fig. 1,

with the outer combustion tubes on the two pipes 2, omitted but which makes a thorou hly practical burner.

nally, rings adjustably sleeved on said pipe having openings over said orifices and burner tubes seated on said rings over said openings and inclined toward each other at approximately 45 angle of inclination.

3. In gas burners, a burner unit comprising a pipe with orifices lengthwise at intervals, a burner tube seated over each orifice and means supporting the tubes on said pipe adapted to adjust the tubes in respect to the orifices covered thereby, and said tubes inclined toward each other at about foilty-five degrees angle and apart at their en s.

4. In gas burners, a burner unit comprising a pipe having two rows of orifices longitudinally disposed in pairs transversely of the pipe, and burner tubes seated over said orifices and inclined away from each other in each pairand toward each other in each row from pair to pair.

5. In gas burners, a gasfsupply pipe and 20 two burner pipes parallel to each other supported on said supply pipe and provided with orifices spaced apart in the same line longitudinally, and combustion tubes seated over said orifices at an inward inclination 2 Signed at Cleveland, in the county of 30 Cufihoga, and State of Ohio, this 12th day of ay, 1919.
